Helping Owls: Human-made Nests

A Great Gray Owl (Strix Nebulosa) arrives at her nest with a chipmunk for her waiting young in a human-made platform. Owls do not create their own nests, many species of owls including Western and Eastern Screech Owls, Ferruginous Pygmy-Owls, Elf Owls, Long-eared Owls, Barred Owls and Great Horned Owls will accept help in the form of nest boxes or platforms.
